Medio

What Medio does

medio GmbH is a small digital agency headquartered in Kassel, Germany, that specializes in web development, hosting, and media services. Its primary customer base is German churches, social and non-profit organizations, and small-to-medium enterprises, with a recurring concentration around the Evangelical Church of Kurhessen-Waldeck (EKKW) network, though the firm is an independent private GmbH rather than a church subsidiary.

The agency's core offerings include TYPO3 and WordPress CMS website builds, managed web hosting, SEO, social media advertising, domain and SSL management, Cloudflare-based infrastructure, self-hosted Matomo analytics, email hosting, audio production, and professional photography/video. Its technology stack is built predominantly on open-source web platforms, with an in-house multi-disciplinary team covering development, DevOps, accounting, and creative production.

medio generates revenue through a mix of project-based website builds and recurring managed-hosting and maintenance contracts, supplemented by ancillary services such as digital advertising and media production. Despite a close operational relationship with the EKKW and several regional broadcasters (FFH, Radio BOB) and partner agencies (MEDIENGARAGE, Denkanroß), the company operates as a boutique regional agency with no public funding history or disclosed financials.
